Reducing frequent, prolonged insulin spikes by
minimizing concentrated carbohydrate consumption
is one of the top ways of preserving and enhancing
insulin sensitivity, thus minimizing inflammation and
fat storage.
Insulin is a one-way valve on your fat cells,
preventing the release of stored calories for fuel.
Many organs enjoy using fat for fuel, including the
brain (once the fat is converted to something called
ketones).
Forty percent of Alzheimer’s cases may be owed to
chronically elevated insulin, which may begin
impairing cognitive function decades prior to a
diagnosis.
Grains, including wheat, are dramatic blood sugar and
insulin boosters, relatively low in micronutrients, and
the top source of calories consumed in the United
States. There is no human biological requirement for
grains.
Carbohydrates, albeit important, are but one part of
the story—stress, rancid oil consumption, and even
toxic industrial chemicals can all contribute to
deranged insulin handling.
